Hello everybody, I recently installed a ford 8.8 with a truetrac from East Coast Gear Supply. I was going to refabricate the 8.8 myself but was shocked to find that my third party warranty was willing to pay for it to be done professionally. Besides the point, after the installation it's evident that the much larger differential in the 8.8 is causing clearance issues with the gas tank skid plate. They're in direct contact with one another.
I purchased the jeep a few months back at 66,000 miles with a lift that appears to be a skyjacker 3-4." It's a comfortable height with 33s but the shocks and leafs are definitely worn. My proposed solution to the new clearance issue is the RC 4.5" x series lift. I already have an SYE installed so I would not use the included t-case drop. I'm curious if you guys have any input as to other solutions, lift kit recommendations, or opinions on the RC 4.5".
